New Grower So the rats just robbed everything :'( Pls help!!!

[Fatbap]

Hello everyone. Let me just start by saying im a long time lurker around these parts but a first time poster. A lot of you have given me a lot of help already along the line so thanks for that.

So I have been growing medicine for myself and a few disabled relatives for a few years now. I would class myself as maybe an intermediate grower by now but recently, I put all the money I had saved up the last year or two and bought about $3000 worth of new gear to start making the real primo top medicine for us. It was delivered to a friends house a few weeks ago but his house was broken into before he could bring it to me and now im completly burnt and had no way to continue because I sold on my gear when I ordered the new stuff. My friend has just very graciously donated a few cast offs to me and im hoping some of you more experienced growers can help me get the most out of it because its not much. This is all I have to work with people I have maybe $20 a week disposable income so I cant buy much except maybe soil and nutes. We have:

2x2x6 tent
8 5 gallon pots
2 300w Mars Hydro leds
1 400w HID lamp with a MH bulb
3 Lemon Haze photos
1 Royal Kush auto
1 Royal Jack auto
1 Royal Bluematic auto
1 Quick One auto
1 Diesel auto
3 in exhaust and carbon filter

He also brought me over 4 huge bags of his own mix supersoil but im very dubious about using this. He grows straight in the ground and uses this stuff along with some compost teas and gets wonderful results but im really worried aboiut using it in pots. We sat down and worked out roughly what would be in the batch he gave me. If any of you supersoil growers out there have any opinions here in particular, share, share, share. I really cant afford to mess this one up so I would suck it up and buy soil and nutes if I had to but lemme know what you guys think please.

200 litres / 160 lbs high quality compost
50 litres both perlite and vermiculite
25 kg / 55 lbs worm castings
1 kg / 2.2 lbs bone meal NPK 3.5 - 17 - 0
1 kg / 2.2 lbs blood meal NPK 13 - 1 - 0.5
1 kg / 2.2 lbs fish meal NPK 5 - 5 - 6.5
1 kg / 2.2 lbs rose food including azomite and other trace minerals NPK 5 - 5 - 10
1 kg / 2.2 lbs horticultural lime
.5 kg / 1.1 lbs azomite and other trace minerals
.3 kg / .55 lbs mycorrhizal fungi
.3 kg / .55 lbs epsom salts

Let me just clarify that for this one grow, the first and last time ever (fingers crossed), my main concern is purely weight. We are all gonna run out of medicine here very soon and I really need to supply us all and make a little money to get a bigger tent. For this reason im seriously considering growing the autos. Which would make this even more of a challenge as I have never done an auto before, it was always clones. I also have access to a 4x2x5 closet however I cannot flower in here as theres only 2 coats of paint and a single brick between my room and my neighbours bedroom.

So, my thoughts were to pop 4 of the autos in the tent under 18/6 and the leds that will produce a bit of quick medicine and 1 lemon in the closet under 18/6 and the MH that I can either put into the tent and flower when the autos are done or clone. Also, the vast majority of my growing life, I would stretch a net across the top of each pot and when the little plant first grew through the holes, I would train it around the outsides of the pot, tying each branch to the frame of the net as I went. How feasible is this technique with autos as I have only ever seen it done with photos?

I know a lot of you guys love a challenge so here it is hehe. Thank you very much for reading my wall of text if you have made it this far and thanks in advance for any replies. I hope this has peeked the interest of some of you masters out there and I would very much love to turn this into a little journal if any of you are interested in coming along on this little adventure with me.

Hey bro, I don't have the experience your looking for, but may I suggest doing a intro on the introduction thread and posting a link to this thread there, I believe you will get quicker responses if you do ... Good luck and Peace!!!

How long have you been lurking and why did you change your user name to post? Just wondering

Hi Fatbab, Sorry to hear about your woes. I don't grow in soil but you should be able to grow some decent meds with the lights you have. I've got about the same amount of LED light and have pulled over 200 grams from under them.

imo thats not a challenge bro lol.Im not lessening your dealing cuz it sounds like ya got a crappy goings on atm juuuust like me.lol go with whatcha know Photo or better yet a fast finisher semi auto/photo.just one topped right will fill that 2X2 and get a heavy yielder. some of those autos might get a lil problematic on ya if ya cram three or four in there in a super soil imo. and that recipe thats all blended and ready to go? id use it thinned slightly by maybe 20% and do a good photo or two or three autos but the autos wont yeild as much if you know whatcha be doing with photos.go with whatcha know to mostly ensure you get whatcha all need. tent,LED and super soil lightly thinned and a 5 gallon pot and a Lemon haze topped one I think might do ya ok.well thats similar to what id do anyways. autos would be ok too but if you are not familiar with them that three times as much crap that can lessen a yield in a hastened state.under duress growing lmfao!! not the best in the best of times if ya dont have themn down sorta lol well,imho that is.so I say photo is gonna be your deal.i know the hazes can take some weeks but autos can be tricky with unfamilar soil and gear to increasing the issues and stuff to get funky quickly.thats all.but for fast meds go with autos.but yield you'll want that photo maxed out.Ive had hazes put on some weight too.and photos are easier to manipulate if ya have other issues.i dunno just my thought on thats man. and that soil if a ready to go tlo soil? and ya really should get some crab shell or similar for a more rounded soil but agaiun thats my humble opinion too.but the rose food..organic?or chealted granule make up? but thats a decent soil but it might have some stuff lacking ID.but if ya can get AACT's going on i think you'll be just fine.

Thanks for the replies guys. I meant to post on the introduction forum after I posted this but I fell asleep while browsing the forums.

I have been lurking around here and 2 other well know grow sites for about 2-3 years, but ive never created an account on any of them and ive never posted on any of them before this. I always just used them for my own reference and following other growers techniques. Although im not doing this grow with the best of intentions, normally I am 100% into the entire growing experience. I love learning the varied ways people grow in different conditions and I always took interest in the bud porn pics some of the masters, on this site in particular, posted.

Thanks for the comment EOF. Its good to have attracted a grower like yourself here already. I wouldnt mind picking your brains for a few hours .

I think the soil should be ready to go. We put it together the last week in February and its been sitting in his greenhouse in sacks since then. The reason for the rose food is that its hard to get crab or oyster shell around here and guano costs a fortune and the rose food was recommended by the guy in the local grow store, who knew exactly what we were doing right away with the amount of stuff my friend bought. Its high in potassium, calcium and magnesium and it also contains a load of other trace elements like manganese, copper, iron etc and its 100% organic. This is one of the reasons im so dubious about using the stuff he gave me because im far from an expert on supersoils but thats why I posted hopefully someone with more experience using them could offer me a few pointers. My friend told me to fill the bottom half of the pots with supersoil and the top half with good quality seedling compost. I think if I can get someone like GBD in here to OK that soil thats how I would use it.

Thanks again for the replies ladies and gents.

What kinda space was this in mate?? How many plants did you do and what were they? Cheers.

Hey bud, sorry for not replying to you sooner. I think your mix should be fine for photos, but mat be a bit hot for autos. I would cut the mix some, like EoF suggested. It's easier to rectify plants that are under fed rather than over fed. Do like your friend said and layer the pots with a non amended mix so that you don't burn any seedlings. Any other questions feel free to give me a shout.
